Customer Reviews

Meh
I was hoping to get practical information on viable alternatives. Unfortunately, there were many included where job growth was expected to be slow. In addition, there were many jobs that required further schooling although the author DID NOT clearly indicate which ones.

I wanted a book to tell me about viable alternatives for teachers which would not require me to go back to school. I was a bit disappointed and will continue looking.

Waste of Time
This book is a waste of time and money. It will give you no more information than you already know. Don't waste your money.

Great, but not up to date
This book was great for me, but a little disappointing, as it was pretty out of date. The copyright was 2002 and a lot of the careers listed don't even exist anymore. Furthermore, I paid more than the book was worth because it was out of print, as well, and hard to find. My copy came out a public library! Overall, it was good to get some general idea of new career directions for a teacher, but it was just good as a directional beacon. To really dig deeper would require more research, via the internet.
